SUN 2/7 : SOLO, plus other bands, as part of "DISCONNECT"

I'll be doing a solo set of songs accompanying myself on the one-string guitar. Several other acts on the bill, including the always-rockingTits Tats and Whiskers, in a relatively rare *unplugged* setting. Don't miss it!

SAT 2/20 : with poet/performer Marcellus Nealy

My multi-talented friend Marcellus Nealy, a poet/performer who I work with from time to time, is having an exhibition of his photography atMiñangos Gallery in Yokohama. He has asked me to perform at the opening reception, which I consider a great honor! It will mainly be my solo performance (using mostly the trusty one-string guitar), but I'll be joined by Marcellus for at least a couple of his brilliant spoken word forays. Come for the music AND the photography and also for what will certainly be a lively and friendly party atmosphere!

SAT 2/27 : the EDOGAWA ECHOES

The Edogawa Echoes, playing all your favorite hits from the 50s, 60s and 70s! (Maybe one or two from after that, as well?) Big fun, come on down to Green Amy Cafe for a relaxing night of familiar (or should-be familiar!) tunes, courtesy of me and my band mates Nambu Yuki (piano) and Totani Jinichi (bass) and *Tofu* on backing vocal.
